Tuesday

This week is going so much better than last week, I can hardly express just how thankful I am. Today, we picked up my nephew from school and the boys enjoyed an afternoon playing with him. I, on the other hand, know exactly why God gave us twins and not triplets!! Three busy boys!

Just some snippets from today:

This weekend is National Scrapbooking Day and so all of the designers that I create for have lots of fun stuff planned which means I have been doing a fair amount of scrapping, but can't share until the weekend!

This book came in the mail today and I unwrapped it and began to page through it and immediately teared up and set it aside for another day.

I got to enjoy an afternoon visit from a new friend.

The 3 boys ran around the back yard playing sheriff and 'oppicers' (officers)--it was pretty funny!

These are some pictures I took of the boys on Saturday before they left for the air show!

I can't wait to see your scrapbooking pages.I looked up the book - I'm not sure I could make it through. I just recently skipped several chapters in a tough book.I too enjoyed an afternoon visit with a new friend.I'm glad the boys played well.

I am so glad that the Lord is blessing you with a good week. Or, that He is blessing you with a better perspective on the week you have been given. Sometimes it's hard for us to know which it is! I looked up the book but decided that I won't be reading it right now. I have a dear friend who's daughter lost a child last fall. I will tell her about it. Thanks for sharing the pictures of the boys. They always put a smile on my face. They seem to live so enthusiastically.

I'm so glad you are having a better week. I've been planning on ordering that book but I guess I've been putting it off because I know it's going to be hard to read. I probably should go into seclusion with an extra-large box of tissues!

A few weeks ago, they did a vision screening at school and William came home with a paper saying he had failed a portion of it and we needed to follow up with an eye doctor. I couldn't believe it! They had their vision checked last year in January and didn't have any issues and he certainly hadn't been complaining of not being able to see. That weekend, we happened to run into their eye doctor (who is also the dad of a classmate) at a restaurant and kind of mentioned it to him. If I am being honest, I was hoping for him to say, "oh, those tests are often wrong--he is probably fine". Instead, he said, you should probably bring him in. So, we made an appointment and headed in last week.

As we sat in the room and they started showing him rows of letters to say, which he clearly could not see or identify, he casually mentions, "yeah, this is exactly like it is at school when I can't see the board!" Apparently, he forgot to mention that to dear ol…

Weekend before last, Micah and I left the boys with his mom and headed out to Phoenix, AZ to visit some very dear friends. While I was trying to explain to a co-worker who we were going to see and why we were such great friends, I began to realize that we had been friends for close to 16 years--which takes us back to before they had any kiddos (now they have 4), before Micah and I were married or even dating, back to when we were still in college. We moved overseas together (and back again), lived an incredible amount of life together, experienced some really great highs along with some pretty devastating lows. We often say that our friendships on our team on the field somewhat ruined us for regular friendships because we know now how great and how precious close friendships can be. For a while we were lulled into thinking that type of friendship was the norm and easily accomplished. Hindsight, which you know, is 20/20. Looking back now, I know that we poured a lot of time and e…

I clicked on a link from a coupon blog earlier this week to get a free 8x8 Shutterfly photo book (not sure if the deal is still good, but added the link just in case), so I organized Micah's pictures from his trip to Africa and made a book. I thought I would share it on here if anyone is interested in looking through the photos. This preview album doesn't really do the photos justice and looking through all the photos definitely made me want to go myself (along with my big girl camera).
